check anything that sounds familiar. More than one is normal; that's what the blend is for.

The Programs
each one works alone. Most plans borrow from a second.
core subjects, taught from the root up
Traces a struggle back to where the gap started and rebuilds, or runs ahead for students who are already solid. Math, reading, writing, and science, taught from where the student actually is.
→ 02 Critical Thinking & Study Skillshow to think about the work, not just finish it
The habits that make schoolwork feel less like guessing: reading what a question really asks, planning, note-taking, and knowing when an answer cannot be right.
→ 03 Test Prepcalm preparation, not last-minute cramming
Format, pacing, and the question types a student finds hardest, built on fundamentals instead of tricks. For the SAT and ACT, AP exams, and placement tests.
→ 04 Passion Projectsreal work on something the student chose
Room to research, plan, and build something real, with structure and feedback, on a topic the student picked. The skills carry back into school.
→ 05 Motivation & Mindsetfor students who have stopped trying
Works through the story a student has built about themselves, honestly. No pep talks. Just steady evidence that effort changes outcomes.
→ 06 Specialized Supportfor students who learn differently
A slower pace or a different explanation, working with families and, when helpful, with the IEP or 504 already in place.
